Limp Bizkit, Korn, The Offspring. Yes, I was 14 once. I guess I must of needed them at the time, or something. I actually listened to more impressive music when I was younger than that age. I guess 14 is the age of trying to discover yourself, whilst still trying to be apart of the pack, whether you are or not. Foudn good stuff at that age, too, though, I must admit, just them 3 are fairly disgusting to me now.

Preach.



When I was 6 I wanted to marry him. No jokes, please. This is a very serious matter.

Michael Jackson is someone I was referring to when I said I was into better music when I was younger than 14. I still don't consider Kriss Kross embarrassing, either. HAHA. But I was listneing to Dylan, The Doors, Sabbath, Zeppelin, etc aswell.

I purchased two of his DVDs the other day, and I am enjoying them immensely.

I have a copy of Catherine Wheel's "Chrome" that's too beat up to sell, but that isn't that awful. I have a copy of the Offspring's "Americana" simpy because it's the first CD I bought. Out of stuff I've gotten rid of I'd say my copy of JJ 72's first CD seems the most embarrasing in retrospect due to their being exceptionally shite.
I have a copy of that Virgin Insanity re-issue LP, but I don't exactly see what's embarrasing about it. Wasn't quite what I expected,but it's far from crap.

Metallica (Ride The Lightning)
Smile Empty Soul
White Stripes (Get Behind Me Satan)
Evanescence (Anywhere Close To Home)
One of the SYR's. It was like 12 bucks and only had 3 songs on it. I was pissed.
Shania Twain - Greatest Hits

To add insult to injury,i once bought what looked like a Sebadoh record for next to nothing to find out when i got home that the sleeve CONTAINED A BLOOD BROTHERS ALBUM!I was so pissed off i didn't eat or answered my phone for three days(ok,ok i'm exagerating there but still......).

I once bought a Mikey Dread double LP and one of the records was actually UB40. I never took it back - don't remember why now. I've got some shocking records in my collection. I mainly put this down to working in a record shop for 3 years.

FIVE Suicidal Tendencies LP's (nothing after the first was worth buying)
THREE Slayer LP's!!!!
THREE New Model Army LP's

I could go on. But I won't.

One more:

The Stone Roses!!!!

We Are Not Devo

All my cd's that I bought during high school, can't remember them I threw them away, i think there was some Korn,and some limp bizkit don't remember that far back.

It's a serious matter because you never really got over how the bastard called off the engagement when you turned seven, right?
He's such a cad.

what's wrong with slayer?

I left replying to that because i knew someone would.Exactly:
What is wrong with Slayer?????
Reign in Blood is an ace album!

indeed

Man, that's a keeper for the cover alone!

I hate Abbey Road, too, but there was a time in my life (around 13) that I loved it. I have 3 vinyl copies, in fact. I'll never get rid of them, though, just becuz of sentimental value.

And the Stones--while they did put out some flawed albums, and while some of might sound dated, come on, these are classic platters of rockandroll. I have almost 40 Stones Lps, including some famous live boots, and while I hardly play them anymore, aside from Sticky Fingers and Exile, I'm glad they're there on the shelves.

New Pornographers--Twin Cinema

I bought the hype last year, bought the album, hated it, and still do. It remains in my closet.

I was unaware until now that a 'hype' formed around The New Pornographers.Ouch!i missed that one.

I think they're terrible, and the title of the thread is "Why in the hell did I buy that album?". And I can't think what possessed me to buy THREE LP's by a band I don't like. I think I must have bought all three at the same time.

Own to it.You've been sussed out.

I also bought an album by Kreator. The 80's were a difficult decade for me.

Well, sorta. Not the usual mainstream hype, I mean just the critical hype--Pitchfork et al. The reviews were so good, but I just didn't "get it." Just sound so "pop" to me.

I have a bunch of Springsteen I bought in the 70s and 80s that I can't stand.

I knew why I bought it at the time, but now they just sit there.

I knew i'd find you out.Kreator have they're moments too(for the worse generally).How did you cure the badly supressed metal tendencies then?

What's wrong with sounding so 'pop' now?Pitchfork exists only by name as far as i'm concerned.I've never bought an album because there was a 'hype' on the internet about it.The first time it will happen is because of the extremely and genuinely enthusiastic posts about Circle on here.

Simple, I bought an Anthrax LP.

Now we're entering dodgy territory.Confess,what else?

That's IT.

Ok,i'll let you get away with that last one.But it wont happen again,right?

Nothing wrong with a bit of Anthrax

"I am the law" *Moshes*

I can't say I have an album I regret buying.

However, I have to say I disagree about what most of you guys are saying about Funeral. I think it's pretty good.

I have to say Arcade Fire's Funeral is, indeed, an album (on vinyl, no less) that I felt I just had to have last year--and that I never really came to appreciate. I tried. I gave it several listens, and I just could not get into it.

The cover art is beautiful, though. So I'll keep it.

I haven't heard the Arcade Fire that much. The drummer is a friend of my brothers though

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

is another that just makes me go "What the hell was I thinking!!"

I also bought the first Pearl Jam LP.:o

In my defence, I hadn't heard them and just knew of the Mudhoney connection.

My friend is their PR in the Uk.My,i had to hide how much i loathe them as a band for such a long time.

"Rebellion (Lies)" is a decent indie track. The rest is a pile of oh-I-wanna-be-so-sensitive horse shit

i second that

So what do you do with albums you hate? Sell/trade them? Keep them?

1)Throw them in the bin
2)Use them as beermats(if they are cds)
3)Give them to charity shops
4)Flog them
5)Ebay them
6)Torture them
7)Burn them
8)Eat them

It's something I'm always on the fence about, whether to take my rejects into the used record store. The return is never very good--2 or 3 bucks at the most per record or CD for most stuff. I've given a few things away to people who want them, and there's more reward in that, actually.
